Troubles installing windows 7
Ive been trying to install windows 7 on my PC for over 8 hours now with no avail, I have three CD's One is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit another 32Bit one burnt with ImgBurn and one with windows 7 image burn on a laptop and the 32bit Home edition(from the laptop) and ive tried to install each CD over 5 times.
Ive had multiple problems, the first problem I was getting was driver_irql_not_less_or_equal when I went to boot from the CD and I got to the installation stage it would just BSOD then restart, everytime. (this was with the 64bit)
I then started getting another error to do with a system32 file called ntdll.dll (this was with ultimate 32bit) at the same stage as the 64bit but i once got to the installation stage and it stopped loading on the second stage (I think its Windows installation) it just hang at 0%.
I then finally tried the Home Edition and I got to installation without blue screen, The problem is now when it is "Completing installation" it seems to be stuck in a loop, when it says to restart the PC to complete installation it says starting Windows the logo of windows 7 pops up and then it restarts again.
The problem now is that I cannot find my OS CD that I started with to get it back to normal(Vista Ultimate 32Bit) so now im stuck with just trying to install Windows 7 with so many problems and im not sure what is wrong my specification I have filled in on registration, Ive never done a reboot before so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks Fred
